My SIL is so creative...she made up this tray with household items on it (spoons, spatula, salt shaker, tea bag, egg timer....and so on) and had me carry the tray around to everyone so they could memorize it. Then I went inside (everyone was outside on the deck) and she told them that they could forget what was on the tray and they had to discribe me...what I was wearing, jewlery, makeup colors, tattoos, shoes, eye color...everything! It was hysterical. Some of the things people come up with when they have no idea is just great.

Two games that are fun: one is match the price to the product. Have the bride take the notecards and place in front of the item from the grocery store. The guests can do a matching game on a sheet of paper with the same information. Whomever gets the most right gets a door prize.

Second, "name the spice," cover ten spices with blank paper with numbers. Have the guests guess what spice is in the container. Works best if it is sense of smell only, not clear jars.

Of course, the bride takes home the items to stock her cupboard (use reusable grocery bags).

The toilet paper wedding dress game is super fun. Split up guests into pairs and have one of them be the model and one of them be the designer. They all compete to make the best wedding dress (and accessories) completely out of toilet paper. At my shower, we had tons of people, so my bridesmaids got to be the judging panel with me. It was so much fun. The ladies really get into it too. One team even made a garter, wedding bands, veil, etc. It was great.

I just got married in November and the funnest thing we did was this: my maid of honor had asked my DH questions about me and our relationship and I had to guess what he said. I think you are suppose to take a drink or a shot for every answer you get wrong but me, being a lightweight, had to chew a piece of gum for every answer I got wrong...it was gross b/c they mixed berry with mint and I had a huge mouthful. But, it was fun!!
